Brilliant Legacy is over (don't spoil me!) but we have so much to look forward to.

NOTE TO SELF: Get a clone so you can fit in real life and all these dramas.

So, these are the upcoming Korean dramas:

AIRINGFRIEND - the most arthouse drama I have ever seen. Former friends turned mobsters played by Hyun Bin, Kim Min Joon. And Seo Do Young as the ( Read more... )

Kdrama life is good!!!

Yes it is

Friend - yep, i've signed up to this one completely! Simply the best thing ever! Up there with The Wire for me!

TAKE CARE OF THE LADY - sounds interesting and yeah, i love rich girl poor boy stories just as much as rich boy poor girl stories! And the butler dude is my age (i think...)! So Yay for the older man!

Dream - Joo Jin Mo!? When is it on again? need to make a note of it in my diary!

Hon - oooo, horror! one of my fav genres! With added bonus of LSJ, although stills from the filming makes him look as if he's got some fancy pigeon perched on his head or something!

IRIS & Swallow the Sun - rofl, unlike you, i have absolutely no interest whatsoever!

And finally, Chuno & Jang Hyuk - i still have Daemang at home, still in his shiny plastic wrapper! hmmmm, i wanna watch jang hyuk now and see if i can hear his busan accent... yah, watching Friend has made me want to check out the proper Busan accent as opposed to the Seoul accent.

I hope the butler is hot hot hot because for now I am predisposed to root for Jung Il Woo solely because of Iljimae.

Dream starts this week I think.

Hon - I am not a big horror fan but love it when it's done well. Plus, I'll take LSJ pidgeon or no.

IRIS & StS - LOL. Ehhh, StS is doing really well and I am sure IRIS will too, so it's only fair other dramas get some love too :)

Re: Friend. I am hoarding with it because, odd as it is, I can't take too much of it at once as it's so emotionally overwhelming.

I wanna watch Daemang :)

I was much encouraged because in the one close-up shot of lead at Dramabeans the other day-http://www.dramabeans.com/2009/07/first-still-shots-from-my-fair-lady-released/#more-9223 he actually did look hot.

Hmmm- he has possibilities :)

Dunno if you're interested, but there's a new drama coming out in August- Tamra/Tamna the Island. It's supposed to be a comedy sageuk (o_o; Never saw one of these before, unless Hong-gil-dong counts) about this orientalist Englishman who gets his ship wrecked in a hurricane and subsequently gets washed up on a island and saved by spunky Joseon-era diver girl. It should be pretty cracktastic with the language barriers and the obscenely pretty boys and the like.

It's directed by the same PD who directed Legend, I think. Only problem is that it's produced by Group 8. D:

dangermousie July 27 2009, 19:55:04 UTC

I've heard about it. Shallowly, I must confess I find the white guy hideous - he sort of looks like an albino (and I normally go for blondes - Nordic Viking types are basically my physical ideal in a man, not that this guy is Viking-like at all).

I confess I am also not big on ott comedies - my sense of humor usually clashes.

Legend PD is wonderful but Group 8 makes me tremble in fear (this said, Return of Iljimae was phenomenal and it was theirs).

Still, we'll see.

yunhalove July 27 2009, 20:07:58 UTC

I see what you mean; I'm usually more into other genres. Most of my wanting to see this drama has to do with my curiousity about how they're going to deal with certain elements of the story. You rarely encounter foreign protagonists/true language barriers in dramas, so. :P

And yes, I have this weird love-hate relationship with Group 8. I adored Return of Iljimae (guh cinematography <3) and it weirds me out that Goong S and BOF are from the same group. o_o

dangermousie July 27 2009, 20:12:20 UTC

Yeah - I am curious about this one too - hopefully if it's a trainwreck, it's at least an entertaining one.

ASKHSASHLAH IRIS!!!!!!

I'm feeling the synopsis from Chuno too. Take care of the lady is a must too of course but I'll probably will start to watch it after it's completely aired.

dangermousie July 27 2009, 20:24:02 UTC

I am so excited for Iris.

Chuno - *preemptively swoons*

dangermousie July 27 2009, 23:46:07 UTC

If HHj won't be in Chuno - booo! But I'll still watch because I adore Jang Hyuk.

JGS - teeny idol doesn't sound too challenging :P
